After another big performance in their win against the New York Liberty on Tuesday, Indiana Fever duo Caitlin Clark and Kelsey Mitchell have set a new record.
The Indiana Fever seem like they’re almost certainly headed for the WNBA playoffs. While Caitlin Clark has often taken all the plaudits since joining, it’s not just about her anymore.
There is a ‘Big Three’ in Indiana, with Kelsey Mitchell and Aliyah Boston both playing at the highest level. All three contributed majorly against the New York Liberty in their 106-92 win on Tuesday.
As has often become the case, Clark and Mitchell were the team’s two leading scorers in the game. In doing so once again, the duo managed to make WNBA history.

Caitlin Clark and Kelsey Mitchell have combined for most points by a duo in an 11-game stretch in WNBA history
In Tuesday’s win against the Liberty, Clark and Mitchell combined for 50 points. This is their 7th game in the last 11 where they have achieved that feat.
In all 11 of those games, the duo have scored at least 47 points. Since their July 12th game against the Las Vegas Aces, the two stars are averaging a combined 50.3 points per game.
That is elite production, to say the least. Their contribution on the offensive end goes beyond just points scored as well. Clark and Mitchell are averaging a combined 10.3 assists per game too.
Considering that Aliyah Boston is also averaging 16.8 points per game during this time, the numbers are looking incredibly good for the Fever as the playoffs draw closer.
Indiana has an 8-3 record in their last 11 games. If their Big 3 can continue producing at a historic pace, they will be a threat to any team in the playoffs.
